2.1.2. INFN

Migration activity

Core Grid services provided by NGI_IT have been upgraded to EMI-1 or EMI-2.

The migration activity of the Sites is still ongoing. Twelve sites are still publishing gLite services, mainly because of well known VO-specific issues or directives (DPM, VOBOX, …); anyway all of them have properly replied to the corresponding COD tickets, providing a schedule for their upgrades.

We have developed a new plugin for the IGI portal, in order to make easier the data management task to the Grid end user.

We have developed specific interfaces for some application

We are working on storage solution for providing storage services (Grid/Cloud) for scientific gateway

We are working on cloud solution integration in the portal

New National Certification Authority

Improvements in the design of the IGI on line CA, preparation of the needed certificate profiles and setup of a first test environment with all the final elements foreseen in the architecture (CA,Myproxy server,public frontend etc..).

Preparation of the CP/CPS document of the ROOT-CA and for the OnLine CA. A first draft of the CP/CPS document needed for the EUGridPMA accreditation has been prepared and discussed.

Test of the Hardware Security Module for the IGI online CA with the CA management software that will be used in the production system

Setup of a test instance for the future IGI Certification Authority. A new software has been tested to implement the CA management.

Accounting

HLR 4.0 has been released

Contribution to the First draft of the OGF Usage Record 2.0

Cloud pilot infrastructure

A cloud infrastructure prototype, based on the open source software OpenStack, has been set up. The main OpenStack components have been installed and tested: identity service, image repository, compute node, object storage and dashboard.

Security

Routine activity concerning the follow up and support to the sites for the critical vulnerability handling. In particular some extra effort has been put for the recent dismission of the gLite 3.1 and 3.2 middleware distributions.

Ticketing System

Maintenance and evolution of the XOOPS/XHELP ticketing system. In particular, some changes on the code was necessary after the modification of the GGUS SOAP interface.

2.2. Main Achievements

2.2.1. GARR

Tested in a preliminar way CREAM CE and DPM using IPv6 in 4 different network configurations. Set up workload components services in the IPv6 testbed. Started structuring a global IPv6 testbed for EGI. Restructured and made more usable the whole IPv6 wiki.

HINTS further consolidated. Discussions with pS-MDM team on possible integration of probes still on going.
